This is a cool looking sword. This is the French made version of naval cutlass that is known as their model 1833 pattern. This is the model that out model 1860 naval cutlass is loosely patterned after. It has the full-length 26-3/4ths inch blade. The well made blade has the single fuller going down each side. At the base of the fullers it has the faint traces of the engraved anchor designs which are a nice touch. Along the spine of the blade it has the remnants of the arsenal markings that read "Manufre de Chatellerault Jan 1844" This is the marking from the famous Chatellerault Arsenal with the February 1844 production date. The hand guard and basket are constructed out of iron and they have the black paint intact. You can still see the French proof marks on the hand guard. The handle on these swords have the 8 sided grip that is constructed of iron. One thing that makes this one extra special is that it is accompanied by the original brass and leather scabbard. These are almost always missing. This one still has the top mount with the loop for connecting to the belt hanger frog. The leather is solid as a rock and displays well. This is a very attractive original naval cutlass with the original scabbard.
